[thelist] Automatically clicking submit button?

[J J]

Actually they fill out the form, then submit the data,
but once the data is submitted, I actually need to
submit another form (hidden).

It's not the same data from the first form, more like
a submit button with a bunch of hidden fields.

So once they fill out the first form, data is sent,
then I need a way to have this next Button clicked to
submit more data, hopefully without them having to
click it.

Clear as mud?  :)
